#kind of wish Barty survived Goblet of Fire tbh he would’ve been a fantastic addition to the major antagonists of the later books

People underestimate just how smart Barty Crouch Jr is sometimes. Like, don’t get me wrong, he’s loud and chaotic and all of that. But this guy got the highest possible marks on all of his owls. His chaotic energy is intentional and has a calculated reason behind it.
While disguised as Moody, Barty was easily the second best Defense teacher that Hogwarts had in Harry’s time there (no one’s beating Remus). He was behind the scenes in canon pulling so many strings in GOF. And had he not been caught and had his soul eaten by a dementor, he would’ve been a serious threat going forward.
#barty crouch jr#he’s not a himbo is what I’m saying#he’s a much more interesting character when that intelligence is incorporated#also his reason is daddy issues and he does everything to piss off his father#and that’s kind of the tragedy of the character#he becomes evil BECAUSE he is so desperate to not be his father that he goes down a dark path#Ravenclaw Barty#is also SUPER underrated#I think he works well in Ravenclaw or in Slytherin#kind of wish Barty survived Goblet of Fire tbh he would’ve been a fantastic addition to the major antagonists of the later books#I definitely think he should’ve died but maybe in the final battle#but seriously if someone had just gotten this kid therapy and taught him to use that energy for good he could’ve done SO MUCH BETTER
